Horseradish Root Powder

Horseradish Root Powder, derived from the pungent root of the Armoracia rusticana plant, is a staple in traditional kitchens known for its fiery kick and unmistakable aroma.

How to use it
Mix a teaspoon of the powder with two teaspoons of cold water and leave it a few minutes to develop, then stir it into cream, yoghurt or mayonnaise for a sauce for beef or smoked fish. It also goes into a Bloody Mary, a potato salad dressing or a mustard blend. Start with a teaspoon, since the pungency builds as it hydrates. Technique tip: use cold water and add a splash of vinegar once it reaches the pungency you want, which fixes the heat in place before it fades.
